Two-Day Kid Trailers & Tag‑A‑Long Rentals — Family Bike Gear from Bike Truckee.
Bike Truckee stocks every child attachment you might need for a short family getaway: double Thule Cadence child trailers that carry up to two children (100 lb limit), and Tag‑A‑Long children’s bikes for kids who want to pedal while hitched to an adult bike. Rentals are two‑day bookings added to an adult bike rental; when you’re ready you select a date and pick‑up time at the shop. All bike rentals include a helmet and a map of the paved trails, and optional items such as a lock or backpack are available on request.

Complete kid‑centric attachments

Compatibility matters
Tag‑A‑Long units are available only with Specialized Rolls; trailers pair with Specialized Rolls and E‑Bikes—plan your adult bike rental accordingly before adding a child attachment.
Straightforward two‑day rates

What the day feels like
What the rental feels like
The experience is an add‑on to an adult bike rental: you reserve an adult bike, select a date and pick‑up time, then collect the chosen child attachment at the shop. You leave with a helmet and a map of Truckee’s paved trails; optional lock and backpack are available if you request them. Trailers and Tag‑A‑Longs let families keep children close while covering local paved routes over a two‑day window.
